Kristin Woodward takes a look at this new study. Exercise during pregnancy has been found to improve back pain, sleep, mood, and energy. In fact, the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology recommends pregnant women exercise at least thirty minutes a day, most days of the week.

One group exercised for twenty minutes three times a week, the other group remained sedentary. Researchers measured the infants brain activity with an EEG when the babies were 8-12 days old. They recorded how the babies responded to various sounds. The babies whose mothers remained active responded to sounds more efficiently.
